Friday/weekend check in
Notifications OFF
Hello lovely people
Not much to report here. Just keeping on. I've been wearing my new sandals a lot ????. Despite the bloody rain.
Feeling a bit fed up. No nice family holiday plans here. Envious of all the social media of lovely family time and holidays etc (I know it's never that simple but I'd love to go back to 'regular' family trouble) Just trying to keep going really.
I went for a walk as I was in a bit of a mood earlier, but I surprised everyone by coming back with fish and chips - lifted the mood a bit and no washing up!
Off to bed. Hoping I wake up in a slightly less grumpy mood.
Love to you all x

Hello Friday Check-in,
It's been an ok week for me. The kids had eye exams, I had a dentist cleaning, I took the kids and two friends fishing, and I made it through work.
I was gifted tickets to a basketball game tonight so that's what the kids and I are going to do.
My husband has received a parole hearing date in 3 weeks (August 15). If it goes well he will be released a few days later. He is letting me get him a blind tattoo as a trust exercise. This is really funny since neither of us have any at the moment but I'm thinking something family oriented like a family tree. I've decided to put it on his forearm so he will see it whenever he (ahem).
Have a great weekend and don't forget to plan something to look forward to. An outing, a bowl of popcorn, a sleep in. Whatever you decide to look forward to I believe that simple action can shift mood a tiny bit. And can't we all use that

Hi everyone,
This week has brought me 1 step closer to being removed from the situation i have been put in by idiot husband. There's a strange facade of civil mundane normality, and he's been telling me about how his move to his mum is going. That's reassured me that he does finally accept we are over and he has to start facing the consequences of his actions. He has 2 more weeks then he'll be gone.
Yesterday should've been our 3 year wedding anniversary, so it was an awful day. I escaped to one of my best friends who's known what's going on since quite early on, and we were joined by another of my best friends. We got drunk, we laughed till it hurt and we couldn't breathe. What a tonic. I'm so grateful to have them in my life, they've been my lifeline.
I'll go home on Sunday, do some cleaning and watch the football.

This past week took my son away for a couple of days to a concert. Was so nice for him to just be himself and not being anxious (he's just turned 17). This week it's a yr since the dreaded knock and still awaiting devices checking.
Anyway seeing him enjoying himself singing along to the music and totally lost in the moment was amazing. The 2 days away cost a fortune but money well spent seeing a smile on his face. He even surprised me by not having a panic attack with the overcrowded train packed like sardines.
I worry so much for his future so moments like this just give time for him to be a normal teenager.
